In bright conditions pretty good. If its lower light it could be a problem but I haven't tested it in low light... I can't say I'm a huge fan of the Spektrum- its a fairly weak transmitter the only plus is the wieght savings...

Hm.. I see.. I'll use the stock transmitter, i don't have it but will buy to use with my proto x too. I think that is pretty good for my expectations: indoor flights. For outdoor i'm building an 170mm brushless and have a 450 quad. So this will be for indoor use. Plus the stock transmitter is smaller than my turnigy 9xr, easier to carry on a bag

Sorry I wasn't clear... I am using a stock hubsan transmitter- works great no issues. The transmitter on the spektrum camera is weak ( I think 25 w or so) it doesn't do well for fpv...

I realized that haha i bought a 200mw skyzone for my 170mm brushless and was planning to buy a 10mw for this build (most people says that is enough for indoor flights). I'll check the weight difference and maybe i put a 200mw instead. Why you say that it is weak? Thanks.

EDIT: I just saw that there are almost no difference in weight from tx5813 and tx5823. Both runs from 3.3v. Will use the 200mw version for better reception.

So two of my Dark Edition 8.5 mm motors bottoms popped off in a relatively minor crash... Another motor bottom is slightly dislodged. These are in addition to another motor that had the bottom pop off.

The very first one the popped off I think was a result of my pressing down on the shaft to get the motor positioned inside the mounts. But these other 3 damaged motors are from crashes. The interesting thing to me is the last crash was on hardwood floors inverted. I think landing inverted on the prop hubs pushed the motor bottom off.

I am contemplating trimming the motor spindle down so that the prop hub almost touches the motor casing.

Are you using new hubsan props with the longer prop hub? If the props are pushed on all the way they should almost contact the top of the motor preventing the bottoms from being popped off in an upside down crash.

Where can i found these new hubsan props? I'm about to buy my props, posted a few posts ago the links that i'm choosing..

Here is the difference between the old style props and new style. The new ones have a longer hub to prevent the bottom being pushed out of the motor during a hard crash. The new style almost sits on top of the motor if installed all the way. Sometimes they are a bit tight and require you to push them on hard while supporting the bottom of the motor.
